Hopefully the great mass of irony in your statement squished your brain as it rolled out of your mouth.
There's a lot of truth to what you say; your observations are among the reasons why I describe the situation as "sad'.
However, it is possible to work in teaching and not be subjected to the hardships you point out above. All the teachers I know personally love their jobs. Of course, they are fortunate enough to be employed by institutions that are insulated from a lot of the problems you mention.

Huh? With bitcoin, the mining process is how transactions are validated. No mining, no transactions. How do you think it could ever be rendered useless?
When will a candy bar cost.0001 bitcoins?
Difficult to say. But you can get candy bars for around.0016BTC (+shipping) from here.
That's an interesting read - thanks for the link. The author makes some compelling arguments, but there's little in the way of hard facts in that article.
I'd also note that the author seems to have a bias against Adobe, as evidenced by his dismissive comments regarding Adobe's response to the Aperture news.
A tree can't very well wash away an infection that has invaded its leaves.
The only real way is to drop its leaves.
If you've walked in the woods often enough, you'd see this.

mmm..."infection" is quite a broader term than "fungi" - but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not moving the goalposts.
In any case, may I suggest you ask yourself "what do leaves do, and how do they do it?" Then ask yourself "what are the conditions required for fungi to propagate?"
After thinking about your answers, ask yourself why leaves would *ever* need protection from fungal infections.
(hint: fungi infect trees through the roots/bark wounds for a reason)
If you thought about it for a second, deciduousness in itself is a scheme to battle fungi too.
I think you might be thinking too hard. Water conservation in colder climes/drought conditions is the most often mentioned advantage of flora shedding their leaves. I've never heard "battling fungi" mentioned as an advantage for "deciduousness" until now.

Big deal. I'm sure the ones soon to be used by businesses and local law enforcement will be much more safe & reliable, because they will be produced in a competitive market environment (instead of by government contract) by 3D printers.
The worlds largest fully steerable single dish telescope is still the Green Bank Telescope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bank_Telescope), which at 100m is ~6x the size
...Bitcoin will not fulfill its promise: keeping cash flow untaxable, allowing people to hold on to their hard-earned income instead of the state taking it away from them at gunpoint.
Bitcoin makes no such promises. The only "promises" (goals, really) bitcoin purports to make are centered around the current trust-based model of payment processing and it's unnecessarily high transaction costs.
Only people (like you, apparently) with an agenda/ax to grind believe bitcoin promises anything else.

The IRS has ZERO jurisdiction over digital "currency."
Yeah? Well the IRS disagrees with you.
This comes from someone who just does not understand that without weapons manufacture most of the world would be speaking German or Russian by now.
And without whiskey manufacture, most of the world would be speaking Gaelic by now.

Teachers are under attack....

Best answer so far. Wish I had a mod point.
And no one has yet to suggest that OP's niece should become a teacher. Sad.

Dude, we are totally gonna get baked.
It's called the Dormant Mining Clause. But you probably haven't heard of it...

The year of Linux on the dash-top is at hand.
The point was that Adobe has no plans currently to change because of Aperture's availability as a competitor.
According to this, Adobe is "doubling down" on LR in response to Apple's decision.
Of course, their VP of Products/Digital Imaging could be lying...but then his post on the Photoshop Blog would be pretty foolish, wouldn't it?

This is why I won't be switching to Lightroom, there is no way I am going to rent software from Adobe.
Lightroom can be purchased as a stand-alone product, and Adobe currently has no plans to move LR to CC.
I'd love some free Google classes
Everybody wants free Google glasses. I mean, what do those thing cost anyway? Like 1500 bucks or somethin?
But let's be realistic - only women & black men can pull off that look.

World's largest fully-steerable single-dish telescope - the Arecibo Observatory is larger still at a diameter of 300m! (Impressive Arecibo exploration video here.
I guess "fully steerable" means "within ~20 of zenith" to you. But that's not what the rest of the world considers "fully steerable".

Not in the United States, that's for damn sure. ;)
That study used data from 2006-2008...i.e., before the recession. I'm sure obesity rates among blacks/hispanics are much lower now. (rolleyes)
Wait...you're saying Satoshi was naive? Interesting. An awful lot of people/money would disagree with you, though.
